Sweets

Bogurar misti doi (Sweet Curd) is a sweet yogurt-based dessert that is popular in the Indian state of West Bengal, as well as in Bangladesh. It is made by first boiling milk to thicken it and then allowing it to cool to a lukewarm temperature. Once the milk has cooled, yogurt culture is added to it, and the mixture is left to ferment for several hours or overnight. During the fermentation process, the lactose in the milk is converted into lactic acid by the bacteria in the yogurt culture, which gives the misti doi its characteristic tangy flavor. Once the misti doi has fermented to the desired level of sourness, it is sweetened with sugar or jaggery, and then chilled before serving.

Rasmalai is een populair dessert op het Indiase subcontinent, met name in India, Pakistan en Bangladesh. Het is gemaakt van zachte en sponsachtige kaasballetjes genaamd "chenna" die gedrenkt zijn in een zoete, romige melksiroop genaamd "ras". De kaasballetjes worden gemaakt door melk te stremmen met een zuur middel zoals citroensap of azijn en vervolgens de gestremde melk te kneden tot een glad deeg.

De kaasballetjes worden vervolgens geplet en gekookt in een suikersiroop tot ze zacht en sponsachtig worden. Ze worden vervolgens gedrenkt in een zoete, romige melksiroop op smaak gebracht met kardemom, saffraan en soms rozenwater. Het dessert wordt meestal gekoeld geserveerd, gegarneerd met gehakte noten zoals amandelen of pistachenoten.

Rasmalai is vergelijkbaar met een ander populair dessert genaamd Rasgulla, dat is gemaakt van dezelfde kaasballetjes maar niet is gedrenkt in de romige melksiroop. Beide desserts worden als zoete traktatie gegeten, vooral tijdens feestelijke gelegenheden zoals bruiloften en religieuze vieringen.

Haldirams Soan Papdi

Sohan Papdi or Soan Papdi, is a popular sweet confectionery from the Indian subcontinent. It is made from a mixture of gram flour, sugar, ghee (clarified butter), milk, and cardamom powder. The mixture is cooked and then rolled out into thin sheets, which are then cut into small squares or diamond-shaped pieces.

Son papdi has a flaky and melt-in-your-mouth texture, with a sweet and nutty flavor that comes from the combination of sugar, ghee, and cardamom. It is often garnished with chopped nuts such as almonds or pistachios for added texture and flavor.

Son papdi is a popular sweet treat in India, particularly during festive occasions such as Diwali, Holi, and Raksha Bandhan. It is also commonly given as a gift during weddings and other celebrations.

In addition to its delicious taste, son papdi is also believed to have several health benefits. Gram flour is high in protein and fiber, while ghee is rich in healthy fats and vitamins. Cardamom is also known for its digestive and anti-inflammatory properties. However, it is important to note that son papdi is a high-calorie and high-sugar treat, and should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
